Young Thug Misses No. 1 Spot, “Jeffery” Still Dominates In Top 10 W/ First-Week Sales

Rich Gang‘s Young Thug has plenty to brag about this Labor Day. The rap star’s new Jeffery album has officially debuted on the Billboard Top 10.

Thugger’s latest solo effort snagged a No. 8 debut position after a heavily competitive opening week.

At No. 8, rapper Young Thug clocks his third top 40 debut on the Billboard 200 of 2016 as Jeffery starts with 37,000 units (18,000 in traditional album sales). He previously notched a top 10 set with Slime Season 3 (No. 7 on the April 16-dated chart) and another top 40 title with I’m Up (No. 22 on Feb. 27). (Billboard)

Early estimates had the project selling nearly 40,000 copies.

A few days ago, Thugger reacted to R&B legend Erykah Badu comparing his Jeffery cover artwork to an Andre 3000 fashion statement.

Last month, Atlanta rapper T.I. revealed what Thug told him about his dress-looking artwork.
